Motorist Asks Government To Remove “Bawal Angkas” Policy After Enhanced Community Quarantine
A certain motorist is asking the government to lift up the “Bawal Angkas” policy for those who were living in the same household after the enhanced community quarantine.
The Philippine government is currently implementing the enhanced community quarantine over the entire Luzon and general community quarantine over some parts of the country as a precautionary measure against the new coronavirus.
A lot of Filipino people have been severely affected by the lockdown protocols. The quarantine orders prohibit mass transport, mass gathering, suspension of several business establishments as well as imposing social distancing.
The social distancing measures also restrict motorists from having a backrider to avoid the possible exposure to the disease.
Recently, the Facebook page “Zurc Christian” is asking the government and law makers to lift up the “Bawal Angkas” policy for those people who were living in the same household after the enhanced community quarantine.
Christian uploaded the photos of his wife walking beside the street while following her to ensure her safety. He also said that he could not entrust his wife’s safety to public utility vehicles.
Here is the full post:
“Sa mga nagpapatupad ng batas diyan sana mapansin niyo to.. Wala po kong reklamo sa batas ngayon na bawal ang angkas sa motor.. Pero sana naman pagnatapos na tong ecq at nasa gcq na tayo.. Baka pwedeng pag isipan naman na payagan na yung magkaangkas sa motor.. Na mag asawa at magkasama naman sa iisang bahay.. Hanapan na lang nang id na nagpapatunay na sa iisang bahay lang nakatira.. Ang hirap kasi pagnatpos na tong ecq hindi pa rin pala pwde ang mag ka angkas sa motor.. Respeto lang po sa post ko.. Nagbabakasakali lang.. Asawa ko po yang nasa picture..
Hindi ko po ipagkakatiwala na sumakay sa public transport ang asawa ko… Iba iba po nakakasalamuha niya don.. Mas lalong delikado.. Di katulad sa motor.. Ihahatid at susunduin ko lang siya..
Wag naman po sanang yung BATAS eh para sa mayaman lang.”
